[Asterisk-Users] Any workaround for long DISA timeout before itactually dials ?

[B. J. Bomar]

Here is an example of my crude hack to emulate DISA.  It requires the user
to hit the # key when they are finished dialing.

[DISA_hack]
exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,2,Wait(1)
exten => s,3,Authenticate(${DISA_password})
exten => s,4,Playtones(dial)
exten => s,5,Read(1stnumber,,1)
exten => s,6,StopPlaytones
exten => s,7,Read(restofnumber)
exten => s,8,Goto(default,${1stnumber}${restofnumber},1)

Hope that helps.

B. J.

Hi,

I'm finding long timeout before DISA really calls extension user entered 
annoying. I wonder what workarounds are you using for this ?

Playtones is one possibility , but it won't stop when user starts entering 
numbers...
